ICD-10-PCS Code For Coronary Arteries: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B231 includes procedures performed to image structures in the coronary arteries. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when magnetic resonance imaging of multiple coronary arteries is performed for diagnostic evaluation or perioperative assessment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B231 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Coronary Arteries Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging examinations focused on the coronary arteries, targeting the heart. These procedures use radiofrequency signals within a magnetic field to produce multiplanar images of multiple coronary arteries. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures supports appropriate inpatient documentation and reimbursement by reflecting the imaging modality and anatomical focus.
